Schools have a critical role to play in getting children eating vegetables – through learning, play and school food. Our school’s programme has been designed by top educators, public health professionals, school caterers and our creative team, in line with the curriculum and government healthy-eating guidelines. The campaign is finished for 2022 – over 1 million children in 3,845 primary and special schools took part. We’ll be back in 2023.
Caterers’ Challenge
We are challenging school catering teams to lay on amazing spreads of vegetable tasters for each week of Eat Them to Defeat Them. These spreads make the veg the hero of lunch and create a perfect opportunity for kids to give them a taste. We love to see creative displays, the kids getting involved and tempting, healthy vegetable treats. We will be shouting about the best and handing out a few cash prizes and certificates to the best school teams.
